Italy has a standard "life + 70" copyright law, as do all EU countries, so consider the case of an author who wrote a book in 1868 when he was 20, and then went on to live to the age of 100. He would have died in 1948, and his book will be in copyright until 1st Jan 2019. Had said author died at the age of 90, however, his books will now be in the public domain.
